Consider the function \(\mathrm f(x)=\dfrac{ax}{x+b}\), \(x\in\mathbb R\), \(x\neq-b\).

  1. Given that \(\mathrm f\) is a self-inverse function, find a relationship between \(a\) and \(b\).[3]

Suppose \(a=2\) and \(b=-3\).

  1. Sketch the graph of \(y=\mathrm f(x)\).[3]
  2. Find \(\mathrm f^{-1}(x)\) and state its domain.[3]
  3. Given that the graph of \(y=\mathrm f(x)\) is translated by \(\begin{pmatrix}r\\s\end{pmatrix}\) to obtain the graph of \(y=\mathrm f^{-1}(x)\), state the value of \(r\) and of \(s\).[3]
  4. The graph of \(y=\mathrm f(x)\) undergoes the following ordered transformations:[3]
    A: Horizontal stretch of scale factor 2.
    B: Horizontal translation by −6 units.
    C: Reflection in the x-axis.
    Find the expression of the resulting function.
